All,

Not sure if this has been discussed/mooted elsewhere. I've hit an issue on many occasions where an offset bet has been orphaned/limbo'd due to the market cycling past its price point. With the initial bet, I can happily use the fill or kill option and am happy with this. However, with the offset bet, rather than adding a stop loss value to pull it out, I'd love to see an additional option that did the following:
  • *Looked at the current price of the unmatched bet on the selection
    *Compared the price of the unmatched bet to the current price
    *Allowed a time window to be applied based on x-number of ticks difference
    *Cancellation of unmatched bet(s) on selection if time window exceeded and price difference threshold met
Is this a do-able scenario as I more often than not eyeball the price drift and manually cancel the unmatched bet(s) whilst the rule is running -not an ideal situation.

Hope this makes sense and rings a few bells

cheers
